[6.5 shooter]

There is something to be said about a long ballisticially superior bullet traveling at modest velocities dumping 99.9% of it's energy into the desired animal VS

The ballistic-ally inferior musket ball ballistics of a over powered hyper velocity bullets which punishes the shooter as much as the chosen animal and tends to create huge accuracy issues for a number of shooter due to fear of noise and recoil which has been ignored in this conversation, plus half of the bullets energy being wasted on the dirt behind the animal.

If the animal dies does it really matter which bullet does the deed???
